Chloe has done everything she can to strip herself of her past. Understandably so, as her father was the most prolific serial killer the small town of Breaux Bridge has ever seen, killing 6 young girls over time. As Chloe and Cooper have grown into adulthood, they've learned to cope with their father's infamy and how it affects them. That is until a potential copy cat killer begins to strike in Chloe's town of Baton Rouge. As the killings continue and prove themselves to be close to Chloe personally, she realizes that she's got to figure out these connections before more young girls go missing or her own safety is compromised.

If anyone ever asks me for a thriller recommendation, this is going to be my new go-to. Works like THIS should be what defines the thriller genre as a whole. It's got everything a thriller lover could ever ask for and is executed in a way that showcases all of these elements *perfectly*. The book alternates between past and present, and Willingham intertwines these two flawlessly. While there was a LOT going on, the way that it was timed and unfolds made it to where the storyline wasn't too cluttered. You can tell the events were extremely will planned, it didn't feel like things were thrown in for the sake of a shock, they felt natural while at the same time, unpredictable. I made 2-3 guesses throughout the book (and flip flopped between them consistently) and even if you do have a theory about the murders/killer as you read, it's so deeply involved with twists and turns that I don't think the "full story" can be guessed. If you like the thriller genre in any capacity, this is 4 U.
